The Vantage Vue ISS and console communicate via an FCC‐certified, license‐free frequency‐hopping transmitter and receiver. Frequency‐hopping spread‐spectrum (FHSS) technology provides greatercommunication strength over longer distances and areas of weaker reception. User‐selectable transmitter ID codesallow up to eight stations to coexist in the same geographic area. (The Vantage Vue console can also receive and displaydata from any Vantage Pro2™ or Vantage Pro2 Plus ISS. The Vantage Pro2 Plus includes two additional sensors: theUV sensor and the solar radiation sensor.) The console may be powered by batteries or by the included AC‐poweradapter. The wireless ISS is solar‐powered with a battery backup. Use WeatherLink™ for Vantage Vue to let yourweather station interface with a computer, to log weather data, and upload weather information to the internet.The Vantage Vue station relies on passive shielding to reduce solar‐radiation induced temperature errors in the outsidetemperature sensor readings.I n t e g r a t e d S e n s o r S u i t e ( I S S )Operating Temperature ..................................................... -40° to +150°F (-40° to +65°C)Non-operating (Storage) Temperature............................... -40° to +158°F (-40° to +70°C)Current Draw ................................................................... 0.20 mA (average), 30 mA (peak) at 3.3 VDCSolar Power Panel ........................................................... 0.5 WattsBattery .............................................................................
